Couple of Calls

We had a couple of calls last night that were a bit ridiculous. The one was a woman who was constipated. She didn’t want to spend her money on over the counter stuff because she got free medical if she went to the hospital. Since she didn’t have a ride to the hospital, she called for an ambulance. Guess she doesn’t have to pay for them either. Ridiculous!

Had another woman who called who was sitting right next to her mom when her mom said she thought she needed an ambulance. The woman had no idea why her mom needed an ambulance and wouldn’t ask her why. She couldn’t even describe any symptoms her mom was having for me to code the call. It was ridiculous.

Had a man call in about an injured bird who had what looked like a mangled foot. Now, the bird could walk and fly just fine and wasn’t bleeding…how this guy determined the foot was “mangled” is beyond me. It flew away before animal services could get there.

HUMP DAY

I haven’t thought about “hump” day for a long time – more then 2 years. It will be nice to get over it and be on the downhill swing to the weekend.

Baxter got me up too early this morning – I’m so tired now. We did our two mile walk this morning. There was a woman walking around who had to weigh in around 300 lbs. I thought it was good she was exercising but she was wearing tights with a pair of short-shorts that rode up in the crack of her butt so her lower butt cheeks hung out. How in the world did she make it out the front door without looking in the mirror? She wore a tight sweatshirt too. Ugh…it wasn’t a pretty sight.

I had 30 Days of Nights on tv and there was a scene where a whole bunch of dogs started barking. Baxter was laying down and he jumped up at the sound & stared at the tv for awhile. Once the scene was over and he realized the dogs weren’t coming back on, he went back and laid down. It was so cute though.

Took the car to Jiffy Lube and had the oil and air filter changed. I put in synthetic oil rather then regular oil – it is suppose to prolong the life of the engine and make it run smoother. It will get better gas mileage too.

I’m going to leave my condo locked up – I’m not going to rent it out for awhile. I’m just going to leave it and pay the bills from Iowa. I have a good feeling about that decisions – not sure why.

Guess I best get back to my list.
